Dual Citizen - Expired Polish passport - HELP!
hello! I'm hoping somebody could help me out here -
I was born in Poland and moved to Canada 20 years ago. My polish passport expired in 2009 and has never been renewed - as a kid/teen I used to go to Poland for vacations and never brought my polish passport. I am going on my honeymoon in about 7 weeks and a relative just told me that Poland has a new rule for dual citizens? Stating that if you are a dual citizen born in Poland, you must EXIT Poland with your polish Passport and it must be valid.
Ofcourse I didn't want any issues so I immediately made an appointment to the Consulat. When I showed up to my appointment today he advised that as my relationship status has changed from single to Married I would need to get the marriage certificate, translate it, and have it validated by some other people "apostille?". He said I cannot have my passport renewed until they have this.
This is the problem: I DONT HAVE THE MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE YET!! As we only got married last month, it takes about 10 weeks for the marriage to get registered and then they have to mail it to you and all that. So, there is no way for me to renew my passport in time for our honeymoon. The tickets and my passport are in my MAIDEN name which matches the polish passport.
What can i DO?! Will they allow me to leave?! We already have the flights booked (leaving from Poland). I feel hopeless as the documents they need, I DONT HAVE AND CANT GET 😫
